[PATCH 7/9] x86/perf: Exclude the debug stack from the callchains

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

Dumping the callchains from breakpoint events with perf gives strange
results:

3.75%             perf  [kernel]           [k] _raw_read_unlock
                       |
                       --- _raw_read_unlock
                           perf_callchain
                           perf_prepare_sample
                           __perf_event_overflow
                           perf_swevent_overflow
                           perf_swevent_add
                           perf_bp_event
                           hw_breakpoint_exceptions_notify
                           notifier_call_chain
                           __atomic_notifier_call_chain
                           atomic_notifier_call_chain
                           notify_die
                           do_debug
                           debug
                           munmap

We are infected with all the debug stack. Like the nmi stack, the debug
stack is undesired as it is part of the profiling path, not helpful for
the user.

Ignore it.
